As a testament to its commitment, TGCR won 3 awards at the Tourism Industry Awards 2025, held at Sunway Resort Hotel.

Speaking at the event, Ong Chou Wen, Chief Executive Officer of Tropicana said, “Tropicana Golf & Country Resort is our first well-planned sustainable township in Malaysia which was introduced in the early 1990s. In 1994, TGCR officially unveiled Malaysia’s largest Clubhouse to its residents, members and visitors, providing comprehensive facilities and amenities. By focusing on placemaking, the Clubhouse has become the pulse of the entire township. Having hosted numerous events such as the annual Selera Muhibbah Ramadan Buffet, OFFLINE 16 pickleball event, wedding galas, formal corporate events and prestigious golf tournaments, TGCR is the ideal venue for celebrations and creating memories. Winning the Best Family Oriented Golf Club in Malaysia as well as Best Golf Tourism Experience and Best Golf Lifestyle Restaurant for Twenty7 Restaurant, is a testament to our efforts and long-term commitment. We are truly humbled and honoured to be recognised among the best by the Tourism Industry Awards. We extend our sincere appreciation to our dedicated team, our business partners and vendors for their support and valuable contributions. Together, we will continue to build resort-style townships centred around our 8 distinct development DNAs and 3 ESG pillars, creating vibrant communities across the nation.”
